Our informant terms it preaching, ,ascause in his *amnion: he always terms it so himself, whereas abse Itaker when in that state, always declined having her exlior-' c ations termed . preaching, assigning the scriptural reason , that linen ought not to teach. Mr. Watson commences with a prayer of ordinary length, then names some passage of Scripture as' a t 'lt, from which he discouraes fluently, and qu it e connecte dly, 4 4 closes with another prayer.

GENERAL. ORDER. Horse Guards, June 8. Earl Bathurst, the Secretary of State for the Colonial Depart went, having communicated, to the Commander-in-Chief the rules which his Majesty's Government have laid down for regulating the grants of land in the Colonies of: New South Wales and • Van Lieman's Laud, to persons p rocee di ng thither as settlers, and his ordship having suggested that it would he desirable to encourage officers of the army, and more especially those on half-pay, to be none settlers in that colony, by holding out to them superiqr ad vantages, in consideration of their services; his Royal Highness hereby snakes known to the officers of the army, the regulations approved by his Majesty for carrying these, his Majesty's gracious intentions, into effect. The rules under which 'lands may he obtained without pun chase, are as follow : That no free grant shall he made to any officer under the rank of Captain, nor to any officer who shall not produce satisfactory testimonials from the Commander-in-Chiefs Offices of good con duct and unexceptionable character. That in these cases, a remission of siltit rent shall take piece for a certain number of years, beyond the wrap:o period which is prescribed its the case of ordinary settlers, according to the fol lowing scale _ Off een; who have served twenty years and upwards, to be ex empted from all quit rent. Officers who have served fifteen years and upwards, but short of twenty years, to be exempted from quit rent for the first twenty years._ . Officers who have served ten years and upwards, but short of fifteen years, to be exempted from quit rent for the first fifteen years. _ _ In other respects the conditions on which the grants are made, to be similar to those which are now in operation in New Smith Wales, with certain modifications, respecting which, - the officers, who may be disposed to avail themselves of this arrangement, will receive information at the Colonial Department. The Officer; to whom land is granted, shall give some security that he, or his faMily, shall residefor at least seven years in the Settlement, anti the. grant shall not he allowed to he sold by him, until he shall be reported •to have eipended upon it a capital equal to half its value, us that value was estimated at the time when his grant was made. In the application of this arrangement to the officers of the army, the following regulations are to be observed:— • Officers on full pay, who have purchased their commissions, or who have served twenty years, are to he permitted to dispose of their commissions in the usual manner, at the price fixed by his Majesty's regulations, viz. :—Lieut.-Colonel 4500/. Major 39001. Captain 1800/. Officers on half pay, whether they have or have not purchased, and whatever may have'been the period of their terrify, provided it he not less than ten years, to be permitted to sell their commis alone for two thirds of the value fired by the last regulation, (viz. Lieutenant-Colonel, 3000/. ; Major, 2133/. 6S.' Bd. ; Captain, .1200/. ;) and without being subject to any of the restrictions im posed by the regulations of the 25th of April, 1825, excepting those which apply to age, and health, and character. The sur plus—(viz. Lieutenant-Colonels, 1500/. ; Major, 1006/. 13s. 4d. ; Captain, 6001.)--nue third of the value to be paid iii such man ner as his Majesty's Government shill . direct ; the price given by the purchaser, being in each case, the full value of the com mission. The officer, who may avail himself of this offer, will be re quired to prOvide for his own passage, and that of his family, to the Colony; and, out of the proceeds of his commission, to place in the hands of the Government a sum equal to one third value of the commission, to be reserved for the cultivation of the land, and which sum will be repaid to him upon his arrival in the Colony, and upon his taking possession of the grant. By command of his Royal Ilighnos the Commander-in-Chief, TIENRY TORRENS, j 1 t.-Gen. LITERATURE. RECOLLECTIONS Of a PEDESTRIAN; by the Author of the JOUR NAT. of an Exit. Rio S vols. SA T.: awl ()Tuty, Ise6. In the introduction the author expresses his hope that the re ception his work meets with from the Reviewers, may not be such as to draw from them the reply which a Canadian savage once nuide to some persons who were seeking a lost companion, and who asked the Iroquois if he knew their comrade ; "Uo I know him?" replied the savage,--" why, I have eaten him !" Now in the present case we must for our own parts say,. that if we have not eaten. this book, we have at least digested it: and that cer tainly in some parts we have devoured the narrative, without at all thinking it to deserve a roasting, and 'though such cannibalsas to feast upon the best parts of it, we should be sorry to cut it up, in our review of it; and upon the whole we are well pleased with our fare. The author seems as if he were really afraid of being eaten, from hi* care to intr,lieh liim►self in the fashionable humbug of shifting off th►e responsibility for his story from one narrator to another, and appearing only as the editor whilst a second is the professed narrator, and the greater part, even of his narrative, is made up of those Drinkers. However, when we have got through all preliminaries; and find our pedestrian fairly afoot, he heroines a most entertaining companion, and irresistibly carries us along with him. His first adventure with his friend Frankenstein, is somewhat tragical, and his sojourn at the inn at Aubagne, not a little comical ; especially when the. English travellers arrived, whO wish ed " dejeuner tout aule !" and ou the landlady presenting ,the bill, exclaimed, comment! tout eshi! c'est un abominable hunte, et avant'le magistrat!" At Toulon he 11'C OS with an tam, who gives au admirable account of Napoleon in the outset M his career, which we must extract An old man, who was one of the eompany, said, "when I knew Napoleon at the time he was ,near Toulon, I little thought that I knew the future King of France." "Did you know him intimately?" I asked. " No, Sir, ,no ; it was difficult to do that. Ile was always cold and, reserved, and there WWI something in his eye that made one feel uneasy in his company. Besides, be appeared to be eon gently ruminating upon some project ; and I well remember that when the news of the approach of our army arrived, at the time that Toulon was occupied by the English, he seemed to beco me every day more kestleo. And then the army came, and Salicetti got him appointed Chef de Brigade; and when he put on his uniform, I saw him smile, and beard him' mutter, 'My destiny is commencing He was a brave fellow, _but not too merciful ; for, whewhe;ntered Toulon, the day the English troop , evaru. ated it,, he had the streets' swept with cannon, and down he Marched with his brigade first to the quay; and When I got there with my men, a terrible sight it was; 'for, there were the ships blazing, and women and children screaming and imploring mercy, and to be ta k en am heard t h e N A N and then two powder-ships, wh i c h h a d been set m fi re , bl e w up with a tremendous roar, and the whole harbour looked like purgatory, with the poor devils struggling upon the w a t er , and the trumpets and drums sonud ing, and the houses on fire, and the cries of terror and rage w hi c h we h ear d all aroun d ! Mufti l I thought, too, that that young Chef de Brigade looked as if he was just in his element, for he was just as cool and calm among it all as if he had been at a skirmish in the co ll ege of Brienne• When th e ' Go vernm e nt chlni, ,, h he was arrested at Nice (whither he had reti re d), as a Terrorist; but he was soon released, and 1 never heard of, or Saw him again, till he. was the General . of the Italian army. I was a little confound e d where I - found myself afterward s t a ki n g an oath of fidelity to him. Meet, atty./1)i l I had r at h er b e w h ere I tun, with a good g l ass o f w ine, than have been Emp eror o f Franck., and now lyi ng i n my grave." Our traveller sp en ds some t i nie st Nice : and his d escr i pt i one of the place and it s scenery are very interesting: not leas so , the history which his o ld fetus& attentia"t g ive s of th e events of her youth, and which occupie s th ret 4ourths of the first' volume. It is a most romantic and tragical history , awl we particularly re commend it to the uotiee of our reader*. The air of Nice is strongly recinumended by our author for. its salubrity, and especially in pulmonary meg• ne preform it greatly to Naples, an d deserihes the En g li s h residents there as generally of g better class than in most other French towns. At Frentiguan our tourist seated himetlf "in the only apart- : ment the inn contai ne d, i n w hi c h was a bed, two goats, a large stack of blackberries for feeding t h e mules, and the , hostess," ,Mete we are enlightened as M the sail blunder which the Engilah are apt to make in calling the wine .produced from this place Frontignoe. The vintage is miraculously productive, good years it yields about 1600 pieces of wine (as. they are termed); but about 40,000 are annually imported at Cette as genuine! ! ! At Montpellier our pedestrian went to u email isln, and asked for some tea, " not authoritatively, but in a doubtful and implor ing' tone." It was, .however,-:to be had, and be consoled him self upon the expeetation.afita arrival ; . when at length the land, Indy appeared with a large red jug, "which contained a vast quay thy of hot discoloured water, which she said was 'le To this he could by no means agree, and so, following the lady into the kitchen, ho had the unspeakable happiness accidentally to ths .covet a tea pot, and the gratification of teaching the good dame the use of it. Upon the whole, he was far from finding this place the earthly paradise it has been ellen represented. An overturn of the diligence near Vienne, and . other Oven tures on the road, afford ample field for his powers Or ludicrous description, and his final arrival at Lyons: introduce , ' hint to Irian, whose narrative of his adventures. during the horrors of the revolution of that place, occupies the main part of the second volume, and is replete with interest ; but to attempt any account of it would necessarily load us into far too extensive details. On his arrival 'at Paris, amidst the other elegaiwies of that polite city the following description of a London citizen taking his pleasure there is too good to be passed over A very different person now presents himself—an Englishman, whom I became acquainted with upon the first day of my arrival at Paris, and also of his from England. He was fresh and green from the neighbourhood of St. Paul's, and had been recommended to his hotel (which luckily happened to be a good one) by the con ductor of the Calais diligence. I had not seen hint for some dap, and I began by saying, " Well,' Sir, how do you like Paris?" " How do I like it, Sir," grumbled my acquaintance, " why not at all, Sir, d—me, There's no smelt place as London after all. What with their narrow streets without footpaths, and their cursed sharp atones, I declare I am almost frightened and wearied to death. And then, Sir, I can get nothing to eat. • Only think, I went to a tavern place they call a Roasters, (Restaurateur's I suppose lie meant), and there they brought me a bill of fare longer, Sir, than 'you'll see at the London Tavern ; but the devil a bit dill I know . what to choose. There were papillotea and blankets, and chew mises, and daub; Nit, says I, none of your daubs for me, if I could get a nice bit of steak, that would just suit me ; and lo and behold the waiter or garcon says to Me, • < Parehaps Mniisire wish for de steak, de bif steak.' To be sure I do,' I replied, quite overjoyed ; ' and let's have some horse-radish with it, and a nice hot potatoe, eh'!' Away runs 'the fellow, and bawls out at the 'door of the kitchen, 'beef steak pour on (pour art , I suppose) ; , . No, no, don't pour any oyster-muce on it,' hulloed I, while the waiter runs up to me with that eternal tont sweet, Monsire.' As - for me, 1 looked any thing but sweet, for when he brought me his confounded rag of a steak, cut into a square, just like a piece of my large patch-work quilt at home, and greased over with butter, d —me, Sir, it was the beef in a daub sure enough ; and I could get nothing. out of thet smirking monkey of a waiter but something about my only having ordered one portion. Why, Into how ninny portions, then, do they cut up a rump steak ?" " You should have ordered a double portion, Sir," said J. " The devil take their portions, Sir; can't they give a man a plain quiet good-sized steak,• such as one gets at Dolly's ?

I tell you what, Sir, I'm starving ! 1)o come and let's eat our dinner together, perhaps you may moist For an afternoon's amusement, I consented to accompany this countryman of mine to a " Roaster's." He was extremely corpu lent, so much so that he might roally, without any impropriety, have been counted,, as a fat peer was urn a division in the House for two, which gave his party a majority. When we entered the anion, I observed the yorcona smile at each other, and one of them pointing out a table to us, said to my companion, "Pnieque Afonsiene a defd cette petite table sera asses yranele," "What doe* tie say'?" ~:M1 my friend. " Many, that as you have already dined, this small table will I T large enough for me." " What tines he mean, Sir?

I contented myself with the demie, lint after dinner was obliged :u join him in a bottle of Chaupaigne, awl thus the sow total of what this man had eaten and drank within a few hours, had been two large basins of soup, two plates of fish, some fricasseed fowl, which also of course went for nothing ;, two mutton chops, au nature!, recommended by myself, and which he said were natural enough, an oinlette soufliee, Nome cheese, fruit, and three bottles of wine. The accusation against England, that it is a gluttonnus land, because it contains so many moodia,t was certainly not so unfounded iu this ease. When we had finished our dinner, not feeling very anxious to remain any longer with this {iargantua, I pleaded en engagement, and left him preparing to go to TortiM's.• to have a bowl of Roman punch. On a subiteguent occasion the same dignitiiry makes his appear ance at a Cag : here, , Garcon, portez moi un bowl de punch a la Roman." "Monsieur, ventril un hol tout enteir Iln bowl what ?---.lereux moi avoir on bowl de pouch tout sweet." , --" Bien hien, Monsieur." (on bowl being about four times the usual Tian. tity).

The pulling commenced on Wednesday, and terminated on that anti the three fidlotving daya^►with very considerable majorities in favour of the hater gentleman ; but tv understand that, although Mr. Bayley and his colleague had ever) prospect of ultimate success, they have since been advised to retire, and the matter will most likely be finally decided in a committee of the House. The proceedings are going on very languidly,; indeed, it is understood to be the intention of Lord John Russell to keep tpert the poll as long as poSsible, to afford time for his agents, who to e . now scouring the country in all directions;, to bring up the strag glers who yet remain unpolled. 'With this view he is now up his Committee at the rate of one per hour; and, us be is said to have nearly a 0 noodled votes here alone, the contest cannot be considered as yet determited, especially as neither exertion nor expellee will he spared to accomplish his return.

This day the town of Ilchester was in such a buitle as it, per. haps, has not witnessed for many years. The roads were crowded with labouring men who disdained to work, and who hoisted the flag of Hunt (green and white), and roared aloud, as strangers entered the town, " H u nt ti m ever !" " Mules the chap for us!" The Court-house was at an early hour eimeded with, persons who seemed to he favourable to Mr. lia moo and Sir Thomas Lethbridge.

As to tin first point, it had twists successfully met by the positive contradiction of Mr. Messiter, awl would be more fully explained by that gentleman. There hail, in fact, been A cuofoundiug of the warrants of dittrent gtiarw " tees, fbr reasons which Mr. Hunt very well understood. Thus three: arrants were produced by Mr. Ifunt, for February, April, and August, in 1817; but this annual accounts were made lup July to .July; so that Ili:August warrant had nothing to it. with what was officially termed ,the year 1817.
